Montreal Fringe Review: Esther Goes Pro

This show’s run is finished, which is a shame because I’d love for you all to see it.

Lise Vigneault, armed with not only Jim Carrey’s rubbery face but also a similar mischievous glint in the eye, brings several character onstage for a few minutes each to entertain. Entertain, they do. Funny, endearing, skirting with the edge of cliche but never going too far into that dark territory, we get song and dance and monologues: the usual one-person show fare.

Highlights were the interstitial video clips, Lise’s hard-working face and some great song arrangements that mingled humour with Lise’s solid vocal talents.

Too bad you can’t see it.
